Celebrate With Free Birds And Kiwi Crate

We have all heard the classic joke, “Why did the chicken cross the road?” The question on many minds as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday is “Why did the turkey get to be the center of the Thanksgiving meal?” As kids, we read about the story of the pilgrims and the Indians breaking break together for the first Thanksgiving meal. I do not, however, remember reading about how a turkey was chosen to be the main course for all the meals to come.

In the new hilarious movie from Relativity Media and Reel FX Animation Studios, Free Birds, coming to theaters on November 1, two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history – and get turkey off the Thanksgiving menu for good. This adventurous buddy comedy for audiences of all ages was directed by Jimmy Hayward of the Horton Hears a Who! fame.

The movie stars the voices of Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, Amy Poehler, Dan Fogler, Lesley Nicol, George Takei, Colm Meaney, Keith David, Carlos Alazraqui, and Dwight Howard. Be sure to follow Free Birds on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with all the latest news.
